Learn Sidemount Diving in Malta
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced diver, this program will help you improve your skills and feel more comfortable and confident in the water.
Sidemount diving, which was originally invented for cave diving, has become a mainstream equipment configuration for recreational and technical diving.
One of the key benefits of sidemount diving is that it allows for longer dives, as divers are able to carry two independent cylinders, providing them with an increased level of redundancy in case of equipment failure or emergency situations. Additionally, sidemount diving offers greater flexibility and maneuverability in the water, allowing divers to access tight spaces and navigate through challenging underwater environments.
Malta and Gozo are ideal locations to learn sidemount diving, as they offer a variety of dive sites that are suitable for divers of all skill levels. Whether you are interested in exploring shallow reefs or diving deeper wrecks, Malta and Gozo have something to offer. In fact, many of the dive sites in Malta and Gozo are perfect for sidemount diving, as they often feature narrow passages and tight spaces that are difficult to access with traditional equipment configurations.

Toby was a great instructor. I thoroughly enjoyed my diving with him in Gozo. The dives we did we amazing, I had a great experience!

Joseph Philbin
Tec Student
Before working with Toby, I'd never dived. Now I confidently dive 40m wreck on nitrox. I owe that entirely to his teaching, encouragement and (in no small measure) his patience. Both in and out of the water, his instruction and professionalism dispelled any anxieties I had and ensured I felt safe throughout.
